Acquisition of Denver Wireless Network by Civitas

Former owner, Ricochet Networks, Inc. has dropped out of the business of providing wireless Internet services.

Civitas has acquired the Ricochet wireless network and operations for the greater Denver metropolitan area from Ricochet Networks, Inc. Judi Evans is the president, CEO, and majority owner of Civitas and will continue running the network with her team as she has been doing as President of Ricochet Networks, Inc. since 2005. In addition, Ricochet Networks, Inc. announces that it has ceased operations of its San Diego network and is no longer in the business of providing wireless Internet services.Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Civitas now operates the Ricochet metropolitan scale wireless network in the Denver metro area, with approximately 6,000 users. Civitas also plans to continue the expansion of its wireless services, such as the recently announced municipal Wi-Fi project with the City and County of Denver and other similar initiatives.

"We are excited about the opportunity to expand our broadband wireless services in the municipal wireless market," said Evans. "We see great transformation in the market, with the new emphasis on building sustainable wireless networks, both ecologically and economically. Ricochet's engineering, customer support, operational experience, intellectual property, and market focus puts us in a strong position to partner with both system integrators and municipalities to deliver robust, sustainable wireless solutions."
